    Pets may cost lots but it’s worth every penny.

    @MeowScout
    It is important to take breaks when we need it. You have a great plan to get that pesky scale moving again. I know with me my weight loss is weird. I will drop a few pounds, then fluctuate up and down around that weight for a few weeks then another few pounds and the process repeats.

    @jimboden3
    The increased exercise maybe causing some water weight.

    @littleflutterby
    First line of the bingo challenge! 👏👏👏 That’s a great motivational quote.

    @tahm42
    You are doing well on your 2022 miles challenge. You are still recovering from surgery so weight loss maybe slow.

    Tell us about yourself.

    I'm in my late twenties mother of 1.

    2. Why are you on this journey? What pushed you to start?

    Over the past 3 years I have put on a significant amount of weight and up 3 dress sizes. My binge eating has been uncontrollable most days despite best efforts and I really want 2022 to be the year I finally get control and in health.
    I want my daughter to see a mum that is healthy and not mum snacking all over the place🤣🤣
    3. What are your triggers and how can you avoid them?

    Biscuits!!! Chocolates , granola ,sugary things in general. I am also triggered by salted roasted peanuts and chips as well as French fries.

    Avoid them by not buying them. Shutting down the cravings or better still trains brain to moderation.


    5. Do you have a favourite diet you go by?

    I am really not a diet person as I feel restricted and it causes even more binges.

    I might say a diet of calorie counting and a some parts of the DASH diet with an 80/20 rules for snacks /cravings( 20% of daily calories intake)is one of my favourites
    5. What is your favourite way to workout?

    At home,youtube videos with steppers ,jump ropes and weights.

    6. What are some of your goals this month? Year?

    1st goal loose weight to come out of the obese category.
    2. Finally beat binges.

    8. What do you expect to gain from the team? Do you have any suggestions?
    Motivation , inspiration, accountability, friendships.

    I agree .. I just hate it when they aren't feeling good ...He has had his share of ear infections .. and now he has allergies that make him scratch until he bleeds ... I am hoping all these meds that he is on help

    good evening everyone. short check in before heading to disneyland as the sun peers over the horizon.
    check in for 1/11:
    steps - 5041. any bets on the amount tomorrow? lol
    calories - logged 1565 or so. dam snacks still tripping me up. m&m here, kiss there. probably added 100 more so no dessert even though i'm hungry.
    exercise - rest day for tomorrow. it is supposed to be 80F or higher there. i will definitely be drinking a lot of water.
    if i don't post anymore, then i will have gotten stuck in "It's a Small World" and drowned myself to get it out of my head. lol Please enjoy your Hump Day, everyone and be covid safe.

    Happy Wednesday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in:

    Weigh-in:
    PW: 171.6
    CW: 170.7 (-0.9)

    1/11:
    Calories: 1,132
    Exercise: None - recovery day
    Steps: 5,107

    I'm feeling slightly frustrated that the scale didn't move very much after all of the exercise that I have been doing while still keeping calories around 1,200 - but - that's the way it goes - so I will just continue to stick to my calorie level and continue to work out! I hope you all have a great day!!

    Using the bingo card I posted, try to get as many squares as possible throughout the week. I will post the card again this morning. Let the team know when you get a line, two lines or hopefully a full card.

    Sharing some things to mark off a couple of squares on my bingo card:

    Three positives about me
    1. I never give up
    2. I am very kind
    3. I am trustworthy

    My goal for this week(did I share this already 🤷‍♀️)
    To get my bedtime routine back under control to help prevent nighttime eating.

    I have four lines.
